8041. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instructions given by the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' and 'saying', when Jehovah talks about things of the Church that are to be observed, as instructions, dealt with in 7769, 7793, 7825, and - since Jehovah is the speaker - as instructions given by the Divine; and from the representation of 'Moses' as God's truth, dealt with in 6771, 7014, 7382. So it is that 'Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instructions given by the Divine through Divine Truth.

7825. 'And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron' means instructions given by God's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when the message is from Jehovah regarding things to be established within the Church, as giving instructions, for 'saying' includes what comes after it; and from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as God's truth, 'Moses' truth that emanates directly from God, 'Aaron' that which does so indirectly, dealt with in 7009, 7010, 7089, 7382.
